Wasted Years Verse 1 3am haunted by the pain again Hating waiting, body aching A life of wasted years Verse 2 Now I know, staring up at the night sky Desperation in this generation No more tears to cry Bridge I feel your soft embrace tonight Hold me close, keep me warm Your pulling me to you feels right Take it slow, dragon flows Chorus Time keeps standing still, stop me falling Angels watching over, holding my hand as I die Now the feeling fades away Memories stolen help me find my way back Discover myself that I hide Verse 3 Daylight came, lift my spirits chance to change A realisation, no condemnation No more wasted years. Bridge I feel the hope and strengths insight Say goodbye, break the tie You are the past my futures bright Time to grow; now I know Chorus Shine the light reveal, now Im calling Angels watching over keeping me safe rectify Now the moments here to stay Eyes wide open help me find my way back Discover myself be my guide
